Chuckling Sig gives Jerica wink and kisses the tip of her nose. "Well then I guess it's a good thing I have Magic." she says humming a soothing tune as she holds her hands above the water's surface, gradually restoring the heat.
"Yes, it is," Jerrica giggles.
Jerrica helps Sig get washed up before tending to herself. "So...you think we'll be able to handle the orcs?"
"I think so, as long as we don't get reckless. We've done well the last few days, and we're getting stronger, but orcs are tough." Sig says helping Jerrica wash her hair. "When we hit we have to hit hard and try not to get surrounded. If we can do that we should be fine."

Jerrica nods. "I feel more capable now than I did even a day ago. I hope it's not just my mind playing tricks on me though."
"Stories are full of heroes gaining greater power after heroic deeds. There's a lot of magic and power in stories, in the flow of events as the way a person's actions twist and rearrange fate." she says giving Jerrica a soft kiss. "I would trust that feeling, I have it too."
Jerrica smiles and finishes rinsing off. She gets out of the tub and wraps a towel around her before drying her hair. "As long as I have you by my side, I think I can do anything."
"Then consider yourself omnipotent love, because I;m not going anywhere without you." Sig says standing up and stepping out of the tub before reaching for a towel.
Jerrica goes up to Sig and wraps her arms around her. "Good."
Sig takes Jerrica into her arms, leaning her head down to rest against her lover's enjoying the simple beauty of the moment as they hold each other.
After a while she gives her a little squeeze. "Ready for bed? It's been a long day."
Jerrica nods. "Never been readier."
Pulling the towel around her, Sig slips an arm around Jerrica's waist and heads to their bedroom. "I'll come back and grab our armor in a minute."
"Alright," Jerrica says, heading to their bedroom. Once inside, she casts off the towel and climbs into bed. "Too tired to get dressed."

Sig smiles, enjoying the view for a moment before going back to the bathroom and bring first Jerica's and then her own armor, setting them down on the side of the bed before casting off her own towel. "No need." she says getting into bed beside her love and wrapping her arms around her. "In fact I have everything I need right here."
Jerrica smiles and falls asleep in Sig's arms pretty quickly.

Sig drifts off soon after, utterly content.
You awaken the next morning to the sound of thunder. Corrie's cottage shakes as the skies rumble.
She groans before opening her eyes, "Ah yes...I always did want to get soaked to the bone while out wondering around looking for bastards to slay and damsels to save....I just hope we're not too late."

"Perhaps Thor shall smile upon our battle today," Thorgr says.
She gets a smirk on her face, "And perhaps I'll smile upon you later and make you smile back." She says with that familiar glint in her eyes.
"Then that's all the more reason to get this day over with," Thorgr says, sitting up in the bed.
She smiles as she gets behind him and wraps her arms around him giving his cheek a kiss, "I agree, and I have a good feeling about today." She says before she gets up and starts getting dressed.
"Think you'll want breakfast?" Thorgr asks.
She thinks for a moment as she changes her outfit to a burgundy colored sun dress the stops just above her knees with gold lace embroidered along the edges and thin strapped sleeves. Finally she shrugs as she starts pulling on her boots, "I'll try okay? Depends on what it is. Apparently there are some things that set my stomach off sometimes."
Thorgr nods, finishing buckling his armor and strapping on his sword.
Awakening with Jerrica in her arms Sig listens to the pealing thunder.
'Today should be interesting.'
Gently she kisses her love awake. "Good morning beautiful."
Frostine finishes getting dressed and then attends to her personal and grooming needs as Thorgr finishes getting ready. Once she's done putting herself together she goes back in their bedroom to greet him properly. Once he's done putting his boots on she goes to him before he has a chance to get up and sits on his lap. Wrapping her arms around his neck she gives him a loving kiss. Pulling back a bit she caresses his face gently, "There....now it's a good morning." She says with a smile as she looks into his eyes.
"Morning," Jerrica says. "Sure is loud out there."
"I'd say so," Thorgr says with a grin. "Ready to get going?"
She nods and nearly bounces off of the bed, "With you? Always." She says with a smile.
Thorgr takes Frostine's hand and heads into the main room.
Sitting on the table of the main room are five bundles and a note.
Frostine looks at them with a concerned look on her face as she goes to the table and picks up the note to read it, "What's this all about then?"
"Storms make me sleepy, so I won't be awake to make you breakfast. I've fixed you a little lunch to take with you. Be safe and see you soon.
Corrie"
She looks at Thorgr, "The note is from Corrie. She says that storms make her sleepy and she won't be up to make our breakfast, but she packed us each lunch to take with us. Do you think I should try to make some breakfast? Maybe just some hot cereal and biscuits? I can't promise it'll be as good as Ms. Corrie's though."
